whats the point of crafting...

[Kallera]

Check the lodestone item database. For the level 55, 70, AND 90 PvP gear not only is there no "HQ" toggle to indicate it's crafted it also says non-covertible, aka not crafted. Unless the database hasn't been updated with the actual crafted gear (possible), it looks like crafters just got GG no re'd.

GLD weapons list for reference:

We literally have few to no long term options in pvp or pve, we are just the window dressing, and at least window dressing has houses to put it in.

We should consolidate our whishes, find compromisses and word them. Afterwards we show em the responsible persons, if they aren't looking already.

Might we open a new thread for that?

My whishes would be:
- reduced materials, gathered AND dropped
- HQ Chance with all skills avilable around 65-85%
- Ability to craft meldable iLvl90 Gear OR
- let instances/raids drop materials so crafter can craft gear shells (see SwTOR)
- there has to be a real chance to fail a syntheses or gather action, even if its low level "No one is born a master." 95-99% is absolutly ok, bad streaks will happen.
- maybe reduce the number of skills X-able
- reduce npc selling gear and tools/weapons from lvl30 on
- make HQ even to aetherical gear dropped in instances


Remember, consolidate and compromisses. Not all my whishes are good/doable but the should be taken as a first constructive step.
